Let's start the Kardashian, West baby name gameYou knew we wouldn't wait long for this. Sure, it's only been a few hours since Kanye West announced that he and Kim Kardashian are having a baby, but there's no time like the present to start conceiving baby names for the couple (see what we just did there?). We doubt they will go with "Kimye" since that moniker is already taken. So what do you think they should go for? "Kanye Omari West, Jr." if it's a boy? "Kris" in honor of Kim's momanger who has played such a key role in her career? Last year Kourtney Kardashian's son Mason's name was third on the Baby Center's list of most popular names so perhaps the couple might want to consult that guide. What are some of your ideas for names for baby Kimye? Sound off!  |
